How to search in Contents

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
I was looking for a search in content functionality in the ecommerce
application but I can only find a search in products.
Is there a way to add a search textbox where the user can search on all the
contents pages?

Thank you,
-Bruno

Bruno,

Patrick Antivackis has just written a good answer to your question in dev ML.

Jacques,
I have read his post but there is no answer to may question only an
information that for prouct search an indexed database is used.
I am looking for a UI where I can enter a string that I want to look for in
the CMS pages to get a list of pages that contains the keyword with links.
(Standard CMS search)
I only have found a product search where I can enter a string and a list of
products that have the string in description are listed.

Yes this is what Patrick said too, quoting
<<Now if need also to index files that are associated with product
and may be (but i don't know if exist already as i never looked) if need to
index CMS and files uploaded through CMS, a solution based on a real search
engine should be far more superior>>

AFAIK there is nothing yet (at least in term of UI) to do what you want.

I just checked "lucene ofbiz" in Google and found (2d link for me)

http://osdir.com/ml/java.ofbiz.user/2005-03/msg00012.html

So Lucene is (should be still) used for content. I did not see any UI so far but maybe there is even one...

Hello,
In fact org.apache.lucene is imported in the 3 following classes :
content/src/org/ofbiz/content/search/ContentDocument.java
content/src/org/ofbiz/content/search/DataRessourceDocument.java
content/src/org/ofbiz/content/search/SearchWorker.java

SearchWorker.java is called by
content/src/org/ofbiz/content/search/SearchService.java,
content/webapp/content/WEB-INF/actions/cms/Search.groovy and
ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/WEB-INF/actions/content/Search.groovy

The SerchService is defined as indexTree.

cms/Search.groovy is used in CMSScreens.xml#AdminSearch and
content/Search.groovy by ContentScreens.xml#searchContent

So there is definately a UI in the admin of content and in ecommerce pages,
look in the Screens.xml to find the ftls or forms.

Yes,
there are some searchContent screens and requests.
You can reach it here
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/ecommerce/control/searchContent

Not clear if it works or not.
